I didn't realize until I saw the later art post in this AU that RDR stands for Red Dead Redemption (because I'm not a gamer and I'm also generally not up to date on pop culture), but I was so taken with Oswald's highwayman/train robber look that I started brainstorming ideas about the AU:

A Wild West AU of Gotham would actually work pretty well because the lawless setting is not that different from the situation in canon. Flamboyant criminals were totally a thing, and so was vigilante justice. Zorro and Batman are cut from similar (black) cloth.

Harvey and Jim are the beleaguered sheriff and new deputy (fresh from fighting for the Union in the Civil War) in a frontier town dominated by the Falcone Gang. Fish Mooney runs a saloon under the gang's protection and for their benefit; Oswald is her bartender and all-purpose errand boy who does some recreational highway robbery and has greater aspirations.

How does Ed fit in? Forensic science wasn't an established practice, and wouldn't fit with the rough and ready ethos of frontier justice. So maybe he's working on some sort of exploratory survey for the US government and gets interested in crime (in all senses). He offers to help the sheriff solve crimes using these new scientific techniques they've been developing in Europe. Maybe he's also read Poe's detective fiction and loves the idea of using logic to solve crimes. But he also loves the idea of using logic to commit and get away with crimes, and he becomes particularly fascinated with Oswald as he makes a name for himself as the brains of the rival Maroni Gang's operations. Eventually, of course, Ed ends up as a flamboyant criminal in his own right, who makes people solve riddles to avoid getting robbed, shot, etc. But I like the idea that he starts out as an "East Coast tenderfoot" before he carves out a place for himself in the West.

Dear, sweet, Littlefoot, do you remember the way to the Great Valley?  I guess so. But why do I have to know if you’re going to be with me? I’ll be with you. Even if you can’t see me. What do you mean I can’t see you? I can always see you.

The Land Before Time(1988) dir. Don Bluth

"I love you but you're doing wrong in a way I cannot condone" and "I hate you but you're being wronged in a way I cannot stomach" are top tier and I need more of them.

Did you know that JRR Tolkien wrote an unpublished epilogue to Lord of the Rings? It's achingly, beautifully wistful in the way that only Lord of the Rings is. I revisited it recently because I'm guesting on my friends' LOTR podcast, and THAT reminded me that I drew a comic of the epilogue back in 2021 (all text is entirely canon). Anyway I thought folks on this website might enjoy it!

It is still sooooooo fucking funny that tumblr, the "fuck that old man" website, the villain apologist website, AND the paranormal boyfriend website read Dracula and went "Count Dracula sucks, we hate this dude." Planetary alignment levels of unlikely.

Spurious Latin plurals are great fun if you're a specific flavour of nerd, but improperly constructed verb tenses are a game anyone can play. The past tense of "screenshot" is "screenshat".

NPR hasn't been reporting that the Minneapolis shooter was trans, which I get -- there might be some ambiguity about it, and they don't want to fuel the transphobic narratives. But they also keep saying "there's no evidence that the shooter was radicalized." Um... what about the part where one of the messages found written on the guns they used was "6 million wasn't enough"? That doesn't count as being radicalized? Even if you can't tell which flavor of radical they are (Right or Left), I would think that's a pretty good sign of some kind of radical ideology.

My favorite part of DBIP on a technical level is Siddig portraying the lmh completely dead-eyed. The contrast is fantastic and almost visceral. That man can play dead inside in ways we can only dream of.

I think that the DS9 fandom doesn't recognize what Keiko O'Brien did for Bajor enough. She spent the better part of 7 years researching and helping to restore a planet that had undergone mass ecocide and helped them be able to reliably grow their own food again, and helped them restore their widely forested surface. I know in the first season there was tension about her not teaching religion but I think that she's considered one of the great allies to Bajor and eventually gets an ambassador position or something.

Also her son was born during a Bajoran birthing ceremony to a Bajoran woman and given how Bajor doesn't observe nuclear family structures that also probably means Bajor considers Keiko to be Nerys' wife.
